Kusal Perera sent Pakistan on the keep running with his most
significant innings to date, then Sri Lanka's center request ran the
restriction down and destroyed them in a furious completion, to establish a
165-run triumph in the last ODI. Sri Lanka looted 368 for 4, however even on a
serene Hambantota deck, the pursuit was excessively steep for Pakistan's
in-structure top request. They slipped to 140 for 5 preceding the midway phase
of the innings, and were full scale for 203.

Kusal's second ODI ton, and maybe the most develop innings
in his profession, arrived in a 164-run opening organization with Tillakaratne
Dilshan, of which Dilshan's offer was 62. Angelo Mathews and Milinda
Siriwardana did equity to this begin, by striking a ream recently limits as Sri
Lanka amassed 107 keeps running in the last eight overs.

Rahat Ali was the main Pakistan bowler to claim a wicket,
and just Shoaib Malik was saved an economy rate of under seven. Yasir Shah's
figures of 0 for 73 off eight overs was especially telling. Pakistan stay among
the main eight ODI groups, yet neglect an opportunity to further implant
themselves there with the Champions Trophy due date drawing nearer. The No.
9-positioned West Indies are just two focuses away.

A lot of that was down to Kusal's thump. Gone from his
batting today were the unpredictable over the-line swipes. He loose his
aspiration in this innings and permitted a skilled guarded system to assume
control. The primary over, from Mohammed Irfan, incited just leaves, forward
defensives and a few offside pushes. In any case, when the bowlers failed,
Kusal was savage. Along the way he struck great conveyances to the limit as
well, however was substance to permit singles to hold him over in the middle of
the top dogs.

Dilshan made utilization of the slipstream Kusal was making
to move energetically, however securely through the early overs. He hit two
progressive legside fours off Irfan in the seventh over, yet was wily, instead
of wild. His half-century fell off 59 balls, yet included just four limits. He
raised his bat at that development, however was more blissful minutes after the
fact, when he turned into the eleventh batsman to finish 10,000 ODI runs.

Kusal had got his own half-century off 39 balls, however
from numerous points of view, it was the second fifty that set this innings
separated. He kept running at Imad Wasim to sock him for two progressive
straight sixes in the sixteenth over, then came back to an eating regimen of
singles and twos with his natively constructed procedure getting to exceptional
segments of the ground. Dilshan was run out endeavoring a brisk single, however
Kusal stuck with it, finishing his second ODI ton with a controlled snare to
profound square leg.

Pakistan's seamers shook Kusal twice - lifting a ball into
his grille and later smashing his boot with a yorker. The main genuine chance
Kusal gave was a troublesome one to a jumping mid-on, off Yasir, on 79. At
last, it was another run-out that halted him. Maybe hampered by that hit to the
foot, he was moderate finishing a second keep running in the 33rd over. He had
hit 116 off 109 transferences however, and set Sri Lanka well on course to
their tremendous aggregate.

Things could have been distinctive however. Yasir will feel
he improved of Mathews when he drew a top-edge off a trudge clear, however
Wasim retreating from square leg lost the high ball in the wind. With Sri Lanka
just three wickets down toward the end of the 40th over, the score at 249 and affecting
at more than a run-a-ball, Mathews rapidly got his energy amusement into
rigging. He pummeled Yasir through midwicket next over, then impacted a four
and a six against the turn an over after that.

With their expert spinner overwhelmed interestingly on
visit, Pakistan's seamers were for all intents and purposes grain on what was
currently a coldblooded surface. Siriwardana focused on the limit from the
start of his innings, and the length of the ball didn't make a difference.
Irfan's bouncers were rattled through midwicket, and Rahat had little fortunes
with the full ball.

The pair harvested 114 keeps running from the last 55 wads
of the innings, with five sixes and 12 fours. Mathews came to his half-century
in 31 balls and Siriwardana finished his first worldwide fifty off 25 with a
snare over profound square leg in the last over to top Sri Lanka's most
overwhelming 50-over stretch of the arrangement.

Pakistan started the pursuit without occurrence, maybe even
a little progressively given the objective - 46 keeps running from the initial
nine overs. Sachithra Senanayake, who might be Sri Lanka's best bowler in his
first match of the arrangement, made the first leap forward, turning one
previous an overbalancing Ahmed Shehzad. At that point Dinesh Chandimal snapped
the safeguards off rapidly enough to get the batsman short by a miniscule edge.

Mohammad Hafeez appeared the most familiar of the Pakistan
batsmen, facilitating limits square of the wicket and notwithstanding going out
to send Senanayake over long-off. Be that as it may, at no time did Pakistan
seem to have a grasp on this pursuit. The run rate just quickly touched six,
and the wickets continued falling. Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed were run out by
uncommon Sri Lanka direct hits. Hafeez himself turned into Mathews' 100th ODI
casualty when he was lbw to an indipper, and Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Rizwan acceded
to Thisara Perara. The tail in the long run offered into rotation, giving
Senanayake figures of 3 for 39 from eight overs.

Notwithstanding this whipping, Sri Lanka have lost the
arrangement serenely. In any case, they will at any rate be happy that Kusal
has started to understand his potential as an unmitigated match winner.
